Star Control: Origins releases later this month.

As its release date later this month draws closer, Star Control: Origins receives a new gameplay trailer, delving deeper into what can be done in its universe that's "130 lightyears by 130 lightyears in size". Space exploration will take players and their ships through hundreds of solar systems. Planets contain valuable resources that can be collected using a lander. These resources can then be traded or used in upgrading ships.

Star Control: Origins features a living universe, as per the trailer's title, which goes about its business without waiting for the player to act. Pirates, mysteries and many quirky alien races await. Some are friendly but others will most likely fancy killing or looting things a bit too much. Judging by the trailer, the title does seem to take some of Star Control 2's DNA and adapt it to modern standards. We'll get to see how it holds up on September 20th, when the game releases on PC.
